I am thinking of purchasing a new harddrive and going ATA66. I currently
have a 10Gig drive ATA33 - with UDMA on. Can I mix these two drives? My
EIDE are already full LS120, 10Gig drive, CDROM & CD-RW. I will purchase a
ATA66 card. I've heard that most will handle up to 8 devices. Does this
mean I could hook up only a ATA66 devices to the ATA66 cable? 10Gig is a
quite a bit of storage to loose. Would it be better to go strictly to 30Gig
drive or buy a 20 Gig and use the 10Gig ?
Also I've heard that a 7200 rpm drive produces more heat then the 5400 rpm
drive. Is there much differences in heat that it would require and extra fan?
